America

I thought of you when I read this Big Al One... that guy living in a snow cave in Alaska! LOL

Stick around Rob. This place will keep growing, it's just a matter of time.

I heard eating 40 grams of poppy seeds gets you an opioid buzz.

If you plant them and then cut the poppies flower pod and scrape the black goo off of the cut on the flower pod and smoke it you will get a hell of a buzz. I'm sure you can get a buzz off of poppy seeds, you can sure fail a piss test from eating them too but I mean the pure distilled essence of the poppy that really gives you a buzz is available everywhere.

For experienced investors , can you lock up your capital in the market to prevent loss?

It smells like BS to me too. Really the only way I can think of money being stuck in the market is if you invest in a new company and you have to keep the stock for so long, probably not anything to do with gold. If gold goes up every time Kim Jong un says something threatening we would all be buying all we could get.

I'm with Sherlock! Remington is in financial trouble we should all do what we can to keep them alive. They have a .45 that holds 15 rounds in the magazine for $350 at Academy Sports... https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/remington-rp45...

I can't, and neither can my financial advisors apparently. Mutual funds have proven to be a reasonable investment. Single stocks are risky no matter how big the company is, I had a lot of GM stock that was supposed to be bullet proof... ha.

This is a long one, so please bear with me.

I just read the other replies, I really like what Sherlock said, he knows about marriage and the Peace Corp too it sounds like. Good advice about no ultimatums, everything can be discussed at all times. I wouldn't give up on children if I wanted them. My wife wanted to quit having kids way before I did, a nurse even kicked me out of the hospital when we were having the fourth one and she was telling them to tie her tubes and I said "only if this one's a boy".... that didn't go over well. Her fifth child is my son Ben, ha!

Decided he didn't want kids after the marriage? Yup I'd "accidentally" get preggers. I hate marriage counselors that tell you to get a divorce. I don't think any marriage is perfect, they all need work. A lot of work.

Man.

Everyone I know that has been to Hawaii absolutely loved it. It's a paradise for sure, lots of money floating around too. I'm exactly the opposite. I've lived in two cities my whole life. Same house for 18 years growing up, and after skipping around in apartments down south I've lived in the last two houses I've owned for over 30 years. 16 in one, and 16 in the house I live in now. Moved every six months to a year around Nashville when I was a kid but finally settled down at about 25. I still google my parent's old house and look at the street view every once in a while just to feel like I'm 12 for a while.

I have been ill for over a week now.

It's now just occuring to me that the only times I got the flu I was little and I was visiting my grandma who lived on a farm and had chickens, and pigs, and cows, and sheep... hmm. And for a long time I thought she was secretly poisoning me.
